When you retain one of these yoga positions for beginners, try to observe or witness your mind and the mental processes that are active at the moment of your beginners positions.

The physical form of yoga is good for your health, but is actually 'just' the training and the purifying process of the symbolic outer aspect of your being. These practices are meant for anchoring your mind in the here and now. That will happen only if you stay focussed and aware of the yoga positions that you are executing. That is why I say that these yoga basic positions deserve your gentle, yet focussed attention.

Performing these positions will clean your physical and vital systems. You will feel more alive and healthier even in the beginning stages of your hatha practice. Hatha Yoga positions will literally purify your body and make it fit for the deeper aspects of yoga such as Meditation and Samadhi.
